The 12th Vana'diel Census

[Vold]

Just sayin' for the record so that you are at least aware, SE. Thanks and I'll go back to not caring like everyone else because we gave up on a new (note: SERIOUS) census last year or two ago. Still woulda been nice to know certain updated figures, though.

I for one loved the effort they put into making it funny.

I was surprised to see things like total RME, Crafting, Player Deaths by Monster (which I thoroughly enjoyed seeing), and Top Auction Items stats gone. Considering Delve and Skirmish are the new battle modes, I'd have loved to have seen statistics related to them in the Census. Completed runs over time, failed runs over time, distribution of jobs in those runs over time, etc. I did enjoy the style, for what it's worth, but there could have been more meat there.

Regardless, thanks to the team for providing the information.

It's not terrible, but I wish they kept all of the old info. Eliminating half of the info it used to have leaves it feeling empty, butchered, almost pointless by compare. I'm thankful they did it, but I'm not happy they removed so much.

I for one loved the effort they put into making it funny.

I liked the light hearten-ness it had. I greatly disliked the lack of info presented in it though.

Some useful data that woulda been interesting:

Number of active 99 characters that have cleared 1+ Delve area, 3+ Delve area, and all Delve areas

Number of Verdigris Stones +2 used and number of Wailing Stones +2 used

Total number of pieces of Reforged AF/Relic 109/119 created, as well as a break down of which jobs had the most pieces reforged

Total number of Ergon Weapons created

Numbers for 119 RMEs

Which high tier mission BCs (excluding AAs for this one) have been completed the most, which BCs have killed the most adventurers, and if each Beitetsu, Riftborn Boulder, and Pluton weighed 1 lb, how many tons of them we have accumulated

A fun one, if each Colonization and Lair Reive defeated was represented by a Taru-Taru, how many times would the string of them wrap around the world

Did not like the new census. They basically tried to copy what every other game is doing nowadays with their infographics, but it just wasn't the same. There are too many pointless stats (total monsters in game? really?) and none of it was really "funny."

Most of the stats were pointless or irrelevant; nothing interesting. I much preferred the older census. They could've done the old one and still made it light hearted, but instead they just removed all the good information.

[Tile]

The only RME I would even care to see is total number of Afterglow RME and by what weapon they are.

[Balloon]

Yeah, I have to echo this, there would be some interesting numbers that I would have liked to see.

RME being one of them, monsters killed and I guess a look at job distribution as it applies to certain content (Not even sure how they got job distribution, numbers at 99?). They used to be a lot more informative, it's kind of a shame that this years was so barren.

[Jedd]

I have to agree that this census was pretty disappointing, as well. I mean, racial distribution? Male-Female and job ratios? Seriously? This is something I'd expect from the 1st or 2nd census, not the 12th.

I liked the light hearten-ness it had. I greatly disliked the lack of info presented in it though.

Some useful data that woulda been interesting:

Now this stuff would be nice to see. Really odd to see no info about the current content completion from the latest expansion. Maybe the numbers were rather low and they didn't want to show them.

Notice the omission of job points? Mighty suspicious. It's cuz no one has them.
